Ok. After discussion on IRC, it seems that there is no need to change the name of the source package. So I keep the source package name "lib-dom-java", its compilation will generate two binary packages : lib-dom-java and libdom1-java. It seems that I was confused by the Java policy which isn't clear about which type of package needs to be name libfoo-java (source and/or binary package). --- Nicolas Duboc <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
